I absolutely think pdocs can get carried away with their tweaking. Even mine, who I really like, keeps pushing Provigil, just because he wants to try its AD effects out on someone, I'm quite certain.
It sounds as if what you really want to do is start over. Is there one med that you feel is more helpful than the others? Perhaps you could titrate off the others down to that one med (a new AD?). Your gut really could be right (mine was.)
Seems to work best if we hear out our Pdocs and then go with our instincts (if they're the good kind of Pdocs who give us that room.)
I, too, just want all the medds out of my system at times. I've found something that helps, Depakote (I'm BPII), but am still on Topamax and Prozac. I'm getting rid of the Topamax slowly, watching for mania, then plan on trying it without the Prozac, even if I don't tell my pdoc about that one. To have it simple, to be on one med - yes, wouldn't that be great??
To not take any meds, to just drink herbal tea and feel calm and healthy and assured, wouldn't that be better? Yes. :(
Good luck.
